Do you think you could eat until morbidly obese...

Post Reply New Topic

The byline question is a no brainer, of course anyone could be made to eat "food" that then leads to them becoming morbidly obese. OK, let's be clear, what is 'morbidly obese' and why is this such a silly question.

To be obese means to be overweight -- but by how much, and says who, right? Well, not that I super care, but here is a quick link.

If you eat a high fat diet you will get fat, even if you are a bodybuilder drinking protein potions and working off the calorie load, your insides will goo up with this hard yellowish crap called cholesterol. Chances are that is what will kill you. Those who are overweight run a greater risk of dieing than those who are not. That much should be clear to everyone.

In the end: Would I, versus, is it possible, are not well ditinguished in the poll question. Reading into it, I suspect it is a would I question. Answer.

I _was_ morbidly obese, so I already did it. But I am not obese anymore, having lost a lot of weight. There is no way in hell that you could get me to eat meat and dairy again to get all obese. NO WAY!

I eat as much plants and fungus as I want, stay away mostly from processed junk while never getting sick; feeling great; lots of energy. I think it would be hard to overeat on a Vegan diet and easy to overeat on a meat based diet.

A single spoonfull of meat comes with a tremendous load of evil. A single bite of meat is therefore too much to eat because of it. You have already screwed yourself and everyone else over by enjoying an artificial addictant. The mommy-flesh addiction carries on, and you probably don't think of yourself as an addict when you do it.

Oh well, nothing matters. Pickle Rick!! !

Oh yes!

It's taken a lot of willpower for me to stay small. I'm a serious food addict, but I have a lot of willpower. I can eat 10,000 calories when I lose control, but I keep that from happening for the most part. If every day were like my worst days, I would be four times the size I am now.

Basically, I empathize with obese people even though I'm not obese. That's why I don't like fat jokes. I mean, seriously--stop with the fat jokes already!

But then I saw the "without junk food" line and I'm thinking, probably not. How the hell does anyone eat 40 pounds of oatmeal or a whole cow? There's a reason Americans have gotten bigger--junk food is like crack!

Impossible.
I have trouble gaining weight at all because I am unable to overeat or even eat an "normal" amount. I get bored easily by eating the same thing for more than a few minutes and also easily get full, despite not eating much.
Perhaps I could gain some weight if I were a taste tester. But it would require a wide choice of food samples.

I get so jealous of naturally thin people!
I gain weight if I even look at food!

My aunt told me about a study she read which concluded that naturally thin people do not have the mythical "fast metabolism" but they simply have less appetite.

In this study they took naturally thin people and put them on the same diet a normal person would eat. Two things happened. 1. They gained weight. 2. They felt overly full and had difficulty eating the normal person's diet.

I've got an appetite like a hippopotamus. I used to be morbidly obese. Through much effort I've managed to keep my weight in the slightly overweight category for the last 4 years.

Have you tried eating a lot of vegetables? I've found that I'm much hungrier when I don't eat veggies.

I'd say that sounds right.

The formulas we have for calculating basal metabolic rate and estimates for energy expenditure actually tend to be fairly accurate.

Anecdotally, when putting your study "in reverse", obese people tend to be very suprised when they figure out how many calories they're actually consuming. Most people are very bad at calculating their calorie intake, but this is especially true for obese people.

That's a good idea.

my personality is extreme. either all or nothing. not much moderation.

emotional gorging

greedy

gluttonous

selfish

lazy

bored

nothing better to do

not many other methods to soothe self. not into drugs/alcohol/smoking. no precious lil "friends". $$ minimum

gorging is the most convenient method to soothe self. and might be the cheapest

the other problem is that you can't just quit eating cold turkey. it is a fine distinction between eating too much and not enough

so yes i could eat until morbidly obese

and i would enjoy the process

so many foods i have not eaten for years. that i love. or used to love. too much fat. afraid of fat.

clam chowder, ice cream, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, berry bread, muffins, scones, falafel, veggie burgers, hash brown, french fries. hamburger. cheddar.

seriously there are a lot more foods that i want to eat, that i do not let myself eat bc of fear of fat. than the foods that i do eat.

but no matter what i do i am still not looking skinny.

i feel like such a loser.

no matter how much i studied, still flunked classes.

no matter how much i compromised still lost precious lil "Friends"

no matter what i eat, still not skinny

jealous, envy resentment. hate. precious lil "people" that are naturally skinny, smart, handsome

waste so much time walking around, just to attempt to burn a couple calories

but all i get is tired and bored

the only thing protecting me [as it did my mother before me] is GERD.

Thank you for the compliment, but my picture is outdated. I was mildly obese in that pic, just wearing it well.

As for my health, you can't see it from the outside.



LOL probably. Would you believe I actually got bad enough to crave the stuff?
